I disagree. Look at Tesla Motors.



Fucking car runs on batteries alone and are faster than my supercharged V8. But I'm not about to pay $100k for a car or whatever they sell for. If they produced those cars in bulk for $30k you wouldn't be able to buy one because they would be constantly sold out.
